- >30 Main weapons
- 25 Secondary weapons called Phantom Edges
Phantom Blade Zero has a new boss-fight video in circulation, putting Soul against The Hunt. GamingBolt reports that IGN published the footage and describes an encounter that changes in its second phase. The latest coverage shifts attention from the wider arsenal to the attacks and transformation of this particular opponent.
Phantom Blade Zero brings The Hunt into focus
The encounter, according to the gameplay report
- Axes connected by a chain The Hunt uses linked, one-handed axes, giving his attacks a distinctive weapon setup.
- Quick attacks and retreats Coverage describes fast strikes and backward movement that can lead into another attack.
- A changing second phase The report describes additional arms appearing as the encounter progresses.
That description fits the broader combat approach outlined on the official Steam page: evasion, deflection, counters and attacks work together. For players following the game, the useful distinction is between the reported details of this encounter and the combat systems already described by the developer.
- Soul
- The Hunt
- Phantom Edges
Blood-Steel Form is an outfit
The official PlayStation listing identifies Blood-Steel Form as a Deluxe Edition exclusive outfit.
Blood-Steel Form also deserves a precise label when discussing the game. Despite its name, the official edition description categorizes it as an outfit. That makes it a separate detail from the report about The Hunt’s changing appearance during battle, rather than evidence of a newly announced combat transformation for Soul.
What comes next
- October 29, 2026 The announced release date S-GAME’s official website continues to display this launch date.

Readers in Egypt should keep the regional date note in mind when comparing announcements with storefronts. The developer’s PlayStation Blog post specifies October 28 in the US and select regions, alongside the October 29 announcement. That distinction explains why official pages can display different calendar dates for the release.
